I think that we will see an overall improvement in Rudy's efficiency when the back and shoulder heal. However I'm not sold on him yet. Demar I think will work his ass off and become a 33% 3 pt shooter in the next couple of years.

From your words to God's ears! I really hope he'll become better 3pt shooter, but I'm already waiting for couple years. Still got faith in him!

We've been hearing this back injury for a couple of weeks now. It's pretty obvious that Rudy is not completely healthy. So my question is, if Rudy is not 100% why play him? why take the risk? why not just shut him down to make sure that he's 100% healthy next year?

90% agree, problem is, he arrived via mid season trade. Still needs to get integrated with his teammates, the off-season is time for individual improvement, and training camp meant for team system, they're not going to worry about (or make it big priority) trying to get him comfortable with the team system.

Although, I think there's a point before you really need to make sure he's healthy, and maybe last 5-6 games in the season, just shut him down.

btw just saw the news that Kleiza is done for the season, coach don't want him to play. So c'mon his value is nearly zero, league doesn't even know that he's ACTUALLY healthy.. Looks like raps are ready to buy out his contract or let him play next season start and then trade him?
